Japanese help needed... - 03-15-2008, 02:47 AM

Hello everyone. I'm having trouble with something I was trying to read. I tried my best to put what I think each sentence means and what it says in romaji, but I'm still having trouble and can only get bits and pieces, but not enough to fully understand it.

I apologize in advance, since this is kind of long, but any help will be highly appreciated, and I don't really need this anytime soon. Thanks in advanced.

From what I gather from this, in for a time in February, she did a drawing
or either planted a flower bud or something like that. In March, the flower
bloomed.

そして、ミナちゃんソロアルバムもできました!

And Mina-chan also did a solo album.

My feelings is to deliver the notification to write of the meeting place
from Mina-chan.
Sorry, I have no idea what this means. I can't figure it out and I know
it's completely wrong.

This is probably wrong too. ^^;;

I guess for this, she means that she's hurrying with her album rehearsal

I have no idea what this says either. I'm picking up words, like how we
(the readers) would enjoy an interesting story and for us (readers) to listen
to Maa-kun's story.

I'll just do the first couple of sentences for you just because I have some time now... The first half of these sentences about Mina-chan are VERY VERY unprofessional with regards to grammar and word choices. Maybe that is what prevented you from understanding. Anyway...

シタールを弾きながら可憐ミナちゃん のステキなブレンドです。

This is the cute Mina-chan's wonderful blend of teas (to drink) while listening to the sitar music. (sitar is an Indian instrument).

スリランカの紅茶、 ヌワラエリアのコートロツジ茶園の紅茶 がベースになって
います。

The main base of this tea is the Sri Lanka tea from the Court Lodge Tea Garden of Nuwalaeria. (you will need to check the spelling for this last word somewhere)

ターシヤ・テユーダの庭のようなイメージだなあって思 いました。

I kept getting this image of the Garden of Tasha Teyuda. (again, pls check the spelling of that place name)

あったかいおひさまいっぱい.

Full of warm sunshine.

2月の時はつぼみの絵を描きましたが(って言ったら「 つぼみだったんだ。。」っ
て人から言われたケド)3月は、花が咲いたとこです。  こんな絵ですが、80

In February I did a drawing of the buds (when I told everyone that, they said "oh, so those were the buds..") but in March I did them in full bloom. So this is the piece and 80% of it was done with CG. LOL

Thanks a lot. Even though you said you did a little, it's still a lot to me. ^_^

This is actually from Akino Arai's most recent journal entry. She doesn't update much, but I was hoping that, this time, I'd be able to figure out some of what she was saying. You're right about the grammar. It just confused me a lot.

Either way, I'm literally slapping myself for not getting "Sitaaru". I always did enjoy that instrument too. lol

Looking over some of this though, I think I might can get a couple on my own, such as:

バイオリン弾いてる姿からは想像できない、マー君の愉 快な日常を、みなさんに
もいつかお伝えしたいです。
BAIORIN hikiteru sugata kara wa souzou dekinai, MAA-kun no yukai na hi toko
o, Minasan ni mo itsuka o-tsute eshitaidesu.

Okay, maybe not. I'm getting the words, but can't seem to think of a way to write in in English. I'm pretty sure it's saying something like Maa-kun was unable to play the violin for some reason..and that Maa-kun had a pleasant day that was endless, and how someday Maa-kun would like to paint (forgot what tsute meant) for everyone. Is this remotely close?

Well, you certainly tried your best. But I must do some correcting if you want to understand this sentence. A careful writer would not place a comma after 想像できない (not your mistake, of course). And more importantly, you read a few parts wrong judging from your romaji transliteration.

hikiteru >> hiiteru
hi toko >> nichijou
o-tsute eshitaidesu >> otsutae shitai desu

姿 = appearance, image of a person
日常 = everyday life
伝える = to tell, to report

バイオリン弾いてる姿からは想像できない、マー君の愉 快な日常を、みなさんに
もいつかお伝えしたいです。

My translation would be :

"Someday I would like to report to all of you about the joyous everyday life of Maa-kun, which one couldn't imagine from his appearance when playing the violin."
